This is a minor point but on Instagram if you press the logo in the top left you can pick Following and it shows you a chronological timeline of only those accounts you actually follow. Instead of the usual shitshow set of reels.

Totally agree. It’s such a shame the issues with lemmy can’t be fixed to Beehaw’s satisfaction.

Hunter Biden is also 53 years old. This isn’t some juvenile runaway with a cushty job provided by his dad, he’s some old dude. At what point is Joe Biden no longer responsible for him?

He is very good at the following things:

• being born rich
• investing in a slam dunk future technology everyone on the planet knows we will need, eg money on the internet, electric cars, space ships
• taking risks in combining the above

That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we’ve seen from twitter, when he doesn’t have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.

He’s also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.

Retaining some ability to spend and use cash is vital because otherwise, all our financial transactions are totally controlled by the banks, and they are completely untrustworthy. The cost is inconvenience.

"Imagine you could see someone's twitter page from your Facebook account. It's like that."

Do you really want Taco John's to hold the usage rights to 'taco Tuesday'?

It just sucks that we're gonna lose a decade of community knowledge on so many topics. Honestly if I have a question for the internet, whether it's dealing with bugs on my houseplants or buying water proof walking boots, I always add 'reddit' to my Google searches.

Shane there isn't a way to move it all on to a stackoverflow type site.

It's the kind of thing that's so blatant you forget it's wildly illegal.

Lemmy has native crosspost functionality, so you would use that, right?

Have you found any decent guitar communities on lemmy?

gee thanks I do feel better

Counterpoint: it’s dreadful and I gave up in the middle of the first book.

It’s certainly well regarded though so worth a look for yourself, op.

One could argue it’s celebrating the departure of another vector of suffering from the world. No one mentioned being happy about his family etc.

Always on connection? For a portable console? Great idea

Calling someone a ‘silly sausage’ in English is a very gentle way to say they are being foolish, sometimes endearingly. Typically it’s used for children. So not far off!

Great comment, very insightful.

Also, censor bot? Where is there a censor bot?

I get that he has an emotional attachment to X from his previous attempts at this, but it’s not even the best single letter branding option.

Musk should have gone for Alpha, which you can shorten using the Greek letter α for his stupid logos, wouldn’t get you banned from half of the world’s anti-porn filters, has nice connotations in terms of cutting edge novel software and meaning ‘first’, and which would draw in his target audience of fuckwits who think Jordan Peterson is a serious person with valid opinions. Honestly missed such an open goal with that one.

I turned my entire life upside down

Unfortunately if this is the only route to losing weight that is out of reach for many, many people who are already getting totally fucked by the system and struggling to get by.

I guess it depends right? If a show or movie or other piece of art continues to bring income in, where does that money go? Particularly when the team that created it have effected disbanded and therefore aren’t technically on the same payroll that income is arriving on. I would argue it should not solely go to the owners of that production house.

Residuals makes sense in a way that doesn’t really apply to engineering because typically engineers will remain at a company and their continued employment is how they continue to gain income from their work.

You could maybe say an actual equivalent would be engineers getting shares in their company, which would function the same as residuals. I think that is a more apt comparison.
